Matthew 7:24

• [Mat 7:24] Build On The Rock

  We’ll build on the Rock, the living Rock, On Jesus, the Rock of Ages; So shall we abide the fearful shock, When loud the tempest rages. Refrain We’ll build on the Rock, We’ll build on the Rock; We’ll build on the Rock, on the solid Rock, On Christ, the mighty Rock. Some build on the sinking sands of life, On visions of earthly treasure; Some build on the waves of sin and strife, Of fame, and worldly pleasure. Refrain O build on the Rock, for ever sure, The firm and the true foundation; Its hope is the hope which shall endure, The hope of our salvation. Refrain

• [Mat 7:24] Builded On The Rock

  I builded on the Rock, on the Rock of God, Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus; I dug down deep and builded on the Rock, Builded on the Rock of God. Refrain I hold not the Rock, but the Rock holds me, The Rock holds me, the Rock holds me; I rest on the Rock, and the Rock holds me, Resting on the Rock of God. Why should I fear when the winds sweep by? Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus; Or shaken be when the waves roll high? Builded on the Rock of God. Refrain Hush, raging billows at His command, Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus; Oh, peace be still ’neath His loving hand! Builded on the Rock of God. Refrain Praise God for our foundation sure! Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus; No storms can harm our home secure, Builded on the Rock of God. Refrain

• [Mat 7:24] Built On The Rock

  Built on the Rock the church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies His temple. We are God’s house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His Name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. Now we may gather with our King; Even in the lowliest dwelling: Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy foretelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces, Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His Kingdom. Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; The altar recalls Christ’s sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. Grant then, O God, wherever men roam, That, when the church bells are ringing, Many in saving faith may come Where Christ His message is bringing: “I know Mine own, Mine own know Me; Ye, not the world, My face shall see. My peace I leave with you.”

• [Mat 7:24] My House Will Stand

  Are you building your house on the rock or the sand, Are you living for time or the ages to be? Do you know that your structure, though shaken, will stand, Unharmed by the tempests which sweep o’er the sea? Refrain Let rains descend and tempests sweep; Let floods arise and billows leap; My house will stand ’neath every shock, For I have built upon the Rock. O the Lord is the Rock; our Foundation is tried, And is changeless today as in centuries flown, Though by men once rejected, He still doth abide, He’s the blest Rock of Ages, the great Living Stone. Refrain Though the billows may beat and the hurricane blow, I am fearless and calm in the face of the gale; For the Word of Jehovah is sure, and I know, Having built on my Savior, they cannot prevail.

  There stands a Rock on shores of time That rears to Heaven its head sublime. That Rock is cleft, and they are blest Who find within this cleft a rest. Refrain Some build their hopes on the ever drifting sand, Some on their fame, or their treasure, or their land; Mine’s on a Rock that forever will stand, Jesus, the “Rock of Ages.” That Rock’s a cross, its arms outspread, Celestial glory bathes its head; To its firm base my all I bring, And to the Rock of Ages cling. Refrain That Rock’s a tower, whose lofty height, Illumed with Heaven’s unclouded light, Opes wide its gate beneath the dome Where saints find rest with Christ at home. Refrain

Matthew 13:31

• [Mat 13:31] Little Drops Of Water

  Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean And the beauteous land. And the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity. Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the Heaven above. So our little errors Lead the soul away, From the paths of virtue Into sin to stray. Little seeds of mercy Sown by youthful hands, Grow to bless the nations Far in heathen lands. Glory then for ever Be to Father, Son, With the Holy Spirit, Blessèd Three in One.

• [Mat 13:31] That Cause Can Neither Be Lost Nor Stayed

  That cause can never be lost nor stayed Which takes the course of what God has made; And is not trusting in walls and towers, But slowly growing from seeds to flowers. Each noble service that men have wrought Was first conceived as a fruitful thought; Each worthy cause with a future glorious By quietly growing becomes victorious. Thereby itself like a tree it shows: That high it reaches, as deep it grows; And when the storms are its branches shaking, It deeper root in the soil is taking. Be then no more by a storm dismayed, For by it the full grown seeds are laid; And though the tree by its might it shatters, What then, if thousands of seeds it scatters?

Matthew 21:28

• [Mat 21:28] Go Work In My Vineyard

  “Go work in My vineyard,” there’s plenty to do; The harvest is great and the lab’rers are few; There’s weeding and fencing, and clearing of roots, And plowing, and sowing, and gath’ring of fruits. There are foxes to take, there are wolves to destroy, All ages and ranks I can fully employ; I’ve sheep to be tended, and lambs to be fed; The lost must be gathered, the weary ones led. Refrain Go work, go work, go work in My vineyard; there’s plenty to do; Go work, go work, the harvest is great, and the lab’rers are few. “Go work in My vineyard”; I claim thee as Mine; With blood did I buy thee and all that is thine— Thy time and thy talents, thy loftiest powers, Thy warmest affections, thy sunniest hours. I willingly yielded My kingdom for thee, The song of archangels— to hang on the tree, In pain and temptation, in anguish and shame, I paid thy full ransom; My purchase I claim Refrain “Go work in My vineyard”; oh, work while ’tis day! The bright hours of sunshine are hastening away, And night’s gloomy shadows are gathering fast; The time for our labor will ever be past. Begin in the morning and toil all the day; Thy strength I’ll supply, and thy wages I’ll pay; And blessèd, thrice blessèd, the diligent few, Who finish the labor I’ve giv’n them to do. Refrain

  Far away, beyond the sea, Where the fields are bright and fair, There’s a call, a plaintive plea; I must hasten to be there. Refrain Let me go, I cannot stay, ’Tis the Master calling me; Let me go, I must obey; Native land, farewell to thee. Hark! I hear the Master say, “Up, ye reapers! why so slow?” To the vineyard far away, Earthly kindred, let me go. Refrain Just beyond the rolling tide The uplifted hand I see; Lo! the gates are open wide, And the lost are calling me. Refrain Father, mother, sister dear, I must bid you all adieu; Hark! the call is sounding clear, There’s a work for me to do.

  O God, who workest hitherto, Working in all we see, Fain we would be, and bear, and do, As best it pleaseth Thee. The toil of brain, or heart, or hand, Is man’s appointed lot; He who Thy call can understand Will work, and murmur not. Where’er Thou sendest we will go, Nor any question ask, And what Thou biddest we will do, Whatever be the task. Our skill of hand and strength of limb Are not our own, but Thine; We link them to the work of Him Who made all life divine. Our Brother-Friend, Thy holy Son, Shared all our lot and strife; And nobly will our work be done If molded by His life.

  Out where the reapers are toiling Out where they earnestly call, Let us away in the morning, There is a work for us all; Lifting the vines that are drooping, Trying their bloom to renew, Bathing their leaves in a fountain Purer and sweeter than dew. Refrain Out where the reapers are toiling, Out where they earnestly call, Let us away, away in the morning, There is a work for us all. Out where the gleaners are toiling, Patiently, cheerfully still, If we are willing to labor, Here is a place we can fill; Speaking a word to the weary, Helping the weak ones along, Shedding bright sunshine around them, Cheering their hearts with a song. Refrain Out where the sheaves they are binding, Sheaves for the garner above, Go in the Name of the Master, Go in the spirit of love; Hark! He is tenderly saying, “Work in My vineyard today”; Haste, for the summer is waning, Harvest is passing away. Refrain

Refrain Lord, by Thy hands that were nail pierced and torn: Lord by the crown that they wove of the thorns: Lord, by Thy passion in Gethsemane: Christ of all tenderness, plead Thou for me! Bright be our lamps as we watch for the dawning, Girded our loins, that our strength may not fail; So as He shines through the mists of the morning, We may be ready to cry Him, “All hail!” Refrain Not as at Nazareth—lowly they found Him; He as the Judge cometh back from the sky; Borne on the whirlwind, with angels around Him, Veiling their face from His glory so nigh.

  Up in Heaven, up in Heaven, In the bright place far away, He Whom bad men crucified, Sitteth at His Father’s side, Til the Judgment Day. And He loves His little children, And He pleadeth for them there, Asking the great God of Heav’n That their sins may be forgiven, And He hears their prayer. Never more a helpless Baby, Born in poverty and pain, But with awful glory crowned, With His angels standing round, He shall come again. Then the wicked souls shall tremble, And the good souls shall rejoice; Parents, children, every one, Then shall stand before His throne, And shall hear His voice. And all faithful holy Christians, Who their Master’s work have done, Shall appear at His right hand And inherit the fair land That His love has won.

Matthew 26:74

• [Mat 26:74] When Peter Boasted, Soon He Fell

  When Peter boasted, soon he fell, Yet was by grace restored; His case should be regarded well By all who fear the Lord. A voice it has, and helping hand, Backsliders to recall; And cautions those who think they stand, Lest suddenly they fall. He said, “Whatever others do, With Jesus I’ll abide;” Yet soon amidst a murd’rous crew His suff’ring Lord denied. He who had been so bold before, Now trembled like a leaf; Not only lied, but cursed and swore, To gain the more belief. While he blasphemed he heard the cock, And Jesus looked in love; At once, as if by lightning struck, His tongue forbore to move. Delivered thus from Satan’s snare He starts, as from a sleep; His Savior’s look he could not bear, But hasted forth to weep. But sure the faithful cock had crowed A hundred times in vain; Had not the Lord that look bestowed, The meaning to explain. As I, like Peter, vows have made, Yet acted Peter’s part; So conscience, like the cock, upbraids My base, ungrateful heart. Lord Jesus, hear a sinner’s cry, My broken peace renew; And grant one pitying look, that I May weep with Peter too.
